Cheoy Lee Forum

[The Jeepster]

Is this the right forum for Cheoy Lee owners or are they chatting in another room?

 

[Moonfish]

There are many of us here! Although there is not a specific sub-forum dedicated to Cheoy Lees, if you have any questions they are likely to be addressed by other CL owners.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard.
Most of the Cheoy Lee owners here have trawlers.
I think that there is a dedicated sub-forum on another site for Cheoy Lee sailboats.
We live our 40 LRC very much.
Where are your cruising waters?

 

[The Jeepster]

Thanks for the replies, my cruising grounds are the Hauraki Gulf and north to the Bay Of Islands New Zealand. How about your self?

 

[JohnS]

We live aboard, wintering in Florida, and are about to leave from Stuart headed North.
This year, we will probably stay on the Chesapeake Bay until Fall, then hopefully, to the Keys and the Bahamas for the winter.

Hello all,
I'm Cheoy Lee Seamaster 47' owner.
I cruised all the way from Vancouver Canada to Mexico, French Polynesia Marquises Islands, Tahiti, Cook Island, Tonga and Minerva reef and New Zealand. My boat is currently in Whangarei on the north island, but I'm in Vancouver... Can't get there from here. Miss my vessel!

There is an Albin group. Pretty similar. Taiwan Trawlers.

That is great seafaring on your part, love the lines on your CL, the bow and sheerline are beautiful!

Greetings,
I think CL only made 5 Seamasters. Quite a rare and capable vessel.

Thank you, Mr. RT. Beat me to it!

Also, I was going to add Cheoy Lees are Hong Kong trawlers...

It has been a decade since you posted this.
We have a 1974 Cheoy Lee Pilothouse 36 in Washington and I have owned it since 2020. Only found one other like it after years of searching. We are considering a C.L. 47 Seamaster that is listed in Mazatlan. We live in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico about 8-10 drive north of Mazatlan. Before driving there to look at this I wanted to reach out and see if this is your vessel. It is #7 of 7 built, supposedly for Mr. Buck of Buck Knives.

Thanks in advance for any insights into the Seamaster 47' and your amazing passages.

Hi, this is not my vessel. My vessel is back in BC after being stuck for few years in NZ during Covid. She is being well taken care of and getting better and better looking.
As a matter of fact I met this boat while I was in LaPaz Mexico.
Had a tour onboard. Back then it was in a process of restoration and the owners had plans to get it all into shape. Have not keep in touch with these people or with the condition of the boat.
